ÉPAULETTES MATE

From the French ‘shoulder strap’. Any mate where the checkmated King stands at the edge of the board and is flanked by two defending pieces that bar its escape.

You only task in the opening is to reach a playable middle game. Lajos Portisch
My relation with Korchnoi depends on whether he has slept well. If he had bad dreams, he speaks a lot of rubbish. Anatoly Karpov

If I’m thinking for more than 20 minutes about one move, it’s usually a waste. Sometimes you can come up with some amazing solution but most of the time you just end up looping: you consider a move, you reject it, then you’re desperate, you come back to the move, you don’t remember why you rejected it, you have to make a move so you make it – then your opponent replies and you remember why you rejected it. The longest wait I ever did between moves was one hour and five minutes – and the move was horrible. Magnus Carlsen
